Retired # 4: Jobe Watson - Now coach at Xavier College 28/11

[Towno78]

Said depends how the team is traveling, it finals are gone he will probably park it. SO, questionable I think.

Yep, Tuesday was his first session back.

Shouldn't play this year but may do if finals are thereabouts essentially.
I'd be happier for him to sit out the year regardless.

As long as finals are possible, I'd want him to do everything to be a chance for a return - in H & A or finals. That said, not cut corners on rehab or rush back, but do all the little things to get it right.

Jobe Watson will do everything and more for a chance to return, whether we are on top of the ladder or on the bottom, that goes without saying.
My comment was that regardless of how hard he hits his rehab, it will be a rush back if he plays.

Any updates in the recent video from Doc?

4 weeks gone now, what are the chances he will be back for the crucial round 20 V Suns?

I'd say at the earliest he may play as sub in R21. All things being well increase his match time in R22 and attempt a full match in R23.

Doc said he sees the specialist laster this week when they will know more, still the danger is his abbility to kick and accelerate.

Thanks for that!

Will be interesting how he progresses and how we are travelling when the time comes.

Better that he starts VFL (pressure free), then sub, then full game. Fingers crossed!

AFL VFL
Rd 21 v West Coast (H) Rd 19 v Richmond
Rd 22 v Gold Coast (H) Rd 20 v Geelong (SS)
Rd 23 v Carlton Finals???


With the VFL side's recent run of form, finals are definitely on the table, and it may come down to those two final league matches, so VFL might be hot in the kitchen for a Jobe comeback..

I don't get the feeling he'll play VFL.

If he came back via VFL he'd absolutely destroy Collingwood or Richmond.

Skipper Jobe Watson is hoping to return 2-3 weeks before the end of the home and away season!

What an animal!

Who's for Tom Bellchambers wearing the no. 4 till Jobe returns?

Would annihilate a VFL quality side.

1 game in the VFL would seriously boost the VFL side's chance of making finals, and our AFL side is going to make it anyway so I'm all for it XD.

There are certain players that just don't come back through the VFL and Jobe Watson is one of them.

We all thought Chris Judd was one of those untouchables. Andrew Swallow also

Watson did a full pre-season, judd and swallow did not. Watson has a far better fitness base. There's your difference
